The Hotel Turkoman really was the centre of our fantastic family holiday to Istanbul. Even before we arrived the correspondence was prompt and accomodating. We arrived way before check-in to find that our room was ready and we were even offered breakfast (8am-10:30am) which was very much appreciated after flying from Australia. Breakfast was a highlight of each day with a changing array of cakes, hot food, fruit, vegetables, cereal, breads and cheeses. The lady serving would also teach us Turkish words and customs while feeding the trained seagulls. We stayed in the Bergama family room with a queen sized bed, separated by a bathroom and two single beds. This worked well for our family of 4 although climbing the stairs is challenging after a long day exploring. The room boasted a big window which we left open at night for the breeze but the A/C in the main room did work well, a TV which we never turned on, a tiny mini-fridge to cool bottled water and an over bath shower with good supply of hot water. The downside to the room is that it’s a bit dated and there were things like the exhaust fan being noisy and some lights not working. Street noise is a bit of a problem if you’re a light sleeper, there are no blockout blinds and the flip-side to being ridiculously close to the Blue Mosque is that the Call to Prayer is really loud but by our 4th night I was sleeping through it. Other than the location and price, it’s the staff which make this hotel a great experience. They are helpful, welcoming and were tirelessly tidying and cleaning while we were there. Speaking of location this hotel is so close to a lot of attractions and the tram stop that we would come back during the day just for showers to cool off and rest before heading out again. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who can look past a few defects to stay right in the heart of Sultanahmet for a great price.
